It would study challenges for commercial vehicle fleet owners and operators, including costs for small businesses, reliable service, and worker training. It would also consider modernizing public and private fleets. The task force would make recommendations, not set new requirements for fleets. Its work would support the State’s greenhouse gas reduction goals. Members would be appointed within 90 days after the act takes effect. The task force would report within 18 months after its first meeting and dissolve 30 days after submitting its report.
